Looks reasonable. I didn't note your router, but if it didn't specify a
user, this transport will run as the exim user (in case that matters).

Hmm. That sounds odd. Usually if you run Exim in debug mode it will show
debugging output for the transports as well. Ah, but of course it won't
show you anything from the new Exim process that is *receiving* the
autoreply. I don't suppose there's anything in the log that helps there.
However, there's a clue in the "(1)", which is an errno value. 1 is
usually EPERM, a permission error. But the only file it will be trying
to access is the exim binary - in order to submit the new message. You
haven't made that inaccessible, have you?
